Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques geared toward practical change. One approach focuses on skill-building for stress and anxiety, teaching simple tools to manage intense feelings and daily overwhelm. These skills can help with panic, worry, and racing thoughts. Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace they can tolerate, while learning ways to handle triggers and intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your concerns, discusses goals, and tries methods that fit your needs and comfort level. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made or new issues arise, so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and flexibility for appointments.
